Nehemiah 13:11 in Context — Nehemiah 13

9 Y dije que limpiasen las cámaras, é hice volver allí las alhajas de la casa de Dios, las ofrendas y el perfume.

10 Entendí asimismo que las partes de los Levitas no se les habían dado; y que los Levitas y cantores que hacían el servicio se habían huído cada uno á su heredad.

11 Y reprendí á los magistrados, y dije: ¿Por qué está la casa de Dios abandonada? Y juntélos, y púselos en su lugar.

12 Y todo Judá trajo el diezmo del grano, del vino y del aceite, á los almacenes.

13 Y puse por sobrestantes de ellos á Selemías sacerdote, y á Sadoc escriba, y de los Levitas, á Pedaías; y á mano de ellos Hanán hijo de Zaccur, hijo de Mathanías: pues que eran tenidos por fieles, y de ellos era el repartir á sus hermanos.
